Welcome back to school!! The school year has offically started and our elementary students are back in the swing of things. Our preschool students also begin their curriculum this month too!  We have so much going on  that we just can't wait to share it all with you.

 

 

 

Dance classes begin September 3rd for our Young Three's class thru Pre-Kindergarten classes. Ms. Kim comes to us every Wednesday and teaches ballet and tumbling. If you are interested in registering please speak with Ms. Melissa in the office. The cost is $38.00 per month for both classes and $20.00 per month for one class.

 

 

On September 18th we will host the St. Jude Trike A Thon at our school for our Old Two's class thru Pre-Kindergarten. The trike-a-thon raises money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This year's event is in honor of Malloree Faulkner who is a long time student of CCLC and a

St. Jude patient. Please help us by finding sponsors for your child.

 

 

Our three-year-old thru kindergarten classes will participate in 911 education talks on September 16th & 17th. The public education coordinator for Shelby County Emergency Communications will be coming to teach the children how to use 911 and what an emergency is.

If you are interested in joining the class for this talks please speak with

your child's teacher for the times.

Step into the "Gospels of Dr. Seuss" at our annual Open House, Thursday, September 25th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The school will be decked out like Dr. Seuss' books for this event. Each class will represent a Dr. Seuss book by exploring the christian meaning of the book. This is such a great opportunity to check out your child's work & assessment portfolios, talk with their teacher, see other classrooms and have fun! This will also be the last night to purchase books at the Scholastic Book Fair. Refreshments will be served and door prizes given away, including 1 week of free tuition. Mark your calendars for this very important event. We hope to see you there!

 

 

The Scholastic Book Fair will be at our school from Monday thru Thursday, September 22nd thru 25th. The book fair is a fantastic way to purchase great books at great prices for your child. The more books we sell, the more money the school will raise to purchase books for our class libraries. There will also be a Teacher's Wish List you can participate in and our One for Books program which helps to raise books for children in need. Make sure you check out both buildings for a larger variety of books.

 

 

We need volunteers to help us run the book fair! Cashiers are needed Monday thru Thursday from 4:00pm to 6:00pm in each building. That means I need two volunteers per day. We also need 4 volunteers for the night of Open House. That night each volunteer will work 1 hours so they may take the rest of the time to visit their child's classroom. If you are interested in helping please contact Ms. Melissa at 758-8877 or MDedman06@comcast.net.

 

 

Our Pre-K thru 3rd Grade classes will visit Uncle Fudd's Farm during the month of October. The farm is located in Arlington, Tennessee.
